It’s that time of year again: The GSA hosted our second Pride T-shirt Design Contest this April, and this year's contest winner was designed by 6th Grade Student, Madison Murphy. Make sure you order now! Orders are due this Friday, 5/2 @ 8PM. https://www.customink.com/g/xub0-00cy-d5j5

Questions about sizing? Take a look at the Sizing Guide for each shirt option.

Ordering a Youth Shirt? Don’t worry… I know it looks wonky on the order form, but CustomInk has assured me that the final print will look beautiful.

Why the tight turnaround? Our 8th-Grade GSA members advocated for shirts to arrive before the DC Trip this year, and we want to honor that!

It is hard to believe it is time to begin planning for your student’s transition to 6th grade. MRMS is very excited to welcome your students to Miles River Middle School. The transition from fifth to sixth grade is an exciting one, but it is also full of many unknowns. In order to help alleviate any potential uncertainty surrounding the move to middle school, we have a number of activities planned for you and your child. Read more HERE.

5th Grade Parent Night - Parents and caregivers will gather at the middle school to learn about the program of studies, schedule, extracurricular opportunities, and “everything middle school.”  There will be time for a Q&A session, as well as a tour of the building. 

May 14th 6:00pm - 7:00pm in person only

May 15th 8:00am - 9:00am virtual only 

Student Move-Up Day - Wed., June 4th 5th grade students visit the middle school to be officially welcomed as members of the Miles River community. Students will meet the administration, counselors, teachers, and other important staff. They will learn about the middle school experience, and will have an opportunity to visit classrooms, the cafeteria, and more.  

Our high school students competed at the National History Day State Competition, where they researched a variety of historical events and presented their information to judges. Thank you to all teams that participated. This is an incredible accomplishment.

A special congratulations to Ian Swanson, Reece Fabrizio, Molly Mosher, Gabriella Jewitt, Jane Starr, and Rowan Sheckells for qualifying for the national competition in D.C. from June 8-12! Cassi Sullivan and Ema Klefti also received honorable mentions for their projects! Thank you to everyone for representing our HWRHS! You can read the results of the competition HERE.

This past weekend, some of our HWRHS Model UN club members participated in a Model UN conference in Boston! Congrats to Jonah Nordin on Outstanding Delegate.

Model United Nations, also known as Model UN or MUN, is an extracurricular activity in which students typically role-play delegates to the United Nations and simulate UN committees. This activity takes place at MUN conferences, which is usually organized by a high school or college MUN club. At the end of most conferences, outstanding delegates in each committee are recognized and given awards for their debate, cooperation, and decorum.

Come to Miles River Middle School Arts Night: Tuesday, April 8th at 6:30 p.m.

This special evening will feature a Jazz Band performance, a Choral presentation, and a selection from the One-Act Play performed by our student actors. In addition, the school hallways will be transformed into a gallery displaying a wide range of student artwork, highlighting the creativity of our young artists.
